Current status of cognitive-behavioral therapy as a psychosocial treatment for adult attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder
Abstract
A convergence of research has established that attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a valid clinical syndrome affecting individuals of all ages. ADHD is associated with significant impairment in many important life domains that often requires clinical intervention. Although medications are a well-researched and effective first-line treatment option, many adult patients with ADHD continue to experience significant functional impairment despite the symptom improvement afforded by pharmacotherapy. Consequently, adjunctive psychosocial treatments often are indicated for adults with ADHD. The aim of this paper is to review the status of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) as an effective psychosocial treatment (when combined with pharmacotherapy) for adult ADHD. This review includes a brief discussion of the CBT conceptualization of ADHD, a summary of clinical outcome studies of psychosocial treatments for adult ADHD, directions for future research, and a discussion of the various possible mechanisms of change involved in CBT for adult ADHD.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
